FINAL HARVEST: Emily Dickinson's Poems

In 1955 Thomas H. Johnson edited the three volume presentation of The Poems of Emily Dickinson which included variant readings and a substantial critical text, and it was published by the Harvard University Press. Five years later, on the Little, Brown list, his one volume edition of her complete poetry appeared. Now, in Final Harvest, he has chosen 575 poems of the 1776 which constitute the sum total of her work, and he has selected not only the best known, but also those which are particularly pertinent to her life and illustrate and illuminate some special quality. Mr. Johnson has also written a new introduction for this edition.
